Have I really bought duck stamps every year even though I've had a lifetime license and didn't need to?? Or is that talking about some state duck stamp?

They actually hit the nail on the head with access. I used to be able to get into a good private land lease for around the same price as a decent deer lease. Now, I have to pay ridiculous prices for a single blind. It just isn't cost effective to continue to duck hunt.

I agree about the access to the land. Gotta pay to play and alot can't pay.

How is this when every swinging dick with a truck is pulling a duck boat Nov-Feb???? I guess they're just cruising around looking the part?

Another issue, with record population numbers cited, I don't see the ducks I did when they were supposedly on the brink of extinction in the early 90's. Just don't add up to dry shite for me.

I've stopped because the cost is insane and the penalties for taking the wrong bird are ridiculous. Its honestly just not worth it to me. I fish for free and don't have to worry about 4 figure fines if the wrong fish bites my bait.

i certainly duck hunt way less now than i used to. Too much work and expense, and hard to find public spots.

meanwhile, they have no idea how many of those 74K lifetime license holders(i'm one) are duck hunting. More accurate to use HIP numbers, i would guess.
